9 weeks ago I never thought I would be saying โ€œweek 9 run 3 โœ…โ€

Great run this morning ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

So proud of myself for doing this.

So grateful for this supportive and encouraging space.

So surprised that Iโ€™m actually starting to enjoy running!

In the words of Dag Hammarskjรถld: โ€œFor all that has been, Thanks; to all that shall be, Yes.โ€

Fantastic news! We all knew you would do it!

You got out nice and early! So you now have the rest of the day to enjoy feeling like the champion that you are! Amazing!

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yep, early before the children are up is the only way I get to run.

I now have a migraine though, so feeling a bit cheated ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Fantastic news to wake up to! Congratulations! Enjoy your achievement and your new ability! It will take you far, literally and metaphorically! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ซ

Please do check out the What's Next faqs healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

And consider joining both the Bridge to 10k forum and maybe even the Strength and Flex forum. You'll still see and participate in c25k posts too but B210K is full of graduates like yourself and S&F is full of great cross training ideas to keep you injury free and running strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Good luck with the consolidation runs. Iโ€™ve managed four 30min runs since I graduated. Must admit they all felt a bit harder than week 9, but seem to be getting into a rhythm now ! Ended up running the last couple to W9R3 again - seemed to make it easier !

MummyTumGraduate in reply to Ant50

Ah yes, Iโ€™ve been wondering whether to simply listen to the week 9 runs on consolidation.

Interesting theyโ€™ve all felt a bit harder than week 9. I guess there isnโ€™t the same reward waiting at the end?

Glad youโ€™re in a rhythm now though ๐Ÿ‘

I think itโ€™s just hard to adjust to not having the โ€œchallengeโ€ of completing the app, as that was a key motivator. Still one foot in front of the other as ever.....

MummyTumGraduate in reply to Ant50

Yes, I think I am about to discover this - first consolidation run tmrw ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

MummyTum profile image
MummyTumGraduate in reply to Ant50

Ah, just discovered exactly what you mean! That was really hard this morning! (Though I did stupidly change my route and didnโ€™t realise quite how hilly it was ๐Ÿ˜ฎ)

Ant50Graduate in reply to MummyTum

Running uphill is not something I have had to face yet ! Hopefully running tonight, so will see how it goes. At least you now have a post C25K run completed ! Well done.
